alone exposes much of this parallelism. We also see that fairly large windows of dynamic instructions would be required to expose this parallelism from a sequential instruction stream. Abstract 1 Introduction Two things generally a ect the advance of computer architectures: a better understanding of program execution‚ and new or better implementation technologies. It is therefore very important to understand the dynamics of program execution when considering the design of future-generation architectures

In today’s business world‚ information about the customer is a necessity for a businesses trying to maximize its profits. A new‚ and important‚ tool in gaining this knowledge is Data Mining. Data Mining is a set of automated procedures used to find previously unknown patterns and relationships in data. These patterns and relationships‚ once extracted‚ can be used to make valid predictions about the behavior of the customer. Data Mining is generally used for four main tasks: (1) to improve

1 Secondary data analysis: an introduction All data are the consequence of one person asking questions of someone else. (Jacob 1984: 43) This chapter introduces the field of secondary data analysis. It begins by considering what it is that we mean by secondary data analysis‚ before describing the type of data that might lend itself to secondary analysis and the ways in which the approach has developed as a research tool in social and educational research. The second part of the chapter considers

DATA DICTIONARY Data Dictionaries‚ a brief explanation Data dictionaries are how we organize all the data that we have into information. We will define what our data means‚ what type of data it is‚ how we can use it‚ and perhaps how it is related to other data. Basically this is a process in transforming the data ‘18’ or ‘TcM’ into age or username‚ because if we are presented with the data ‘18’‚ that can mean a lot of things… it can be an age‚ a prefix or a suffix of a telephone number‚ or basically

1. Data Processing- is any process that a computer program does to enter data and‚ summarize‚ analyze or otherwise convert data into usable information. The process may be automated and run on a computer. It involves recording‚ analyzing‚ sorting‚ summarizing‚ calculating‚ disseminating and storing data. Because data are most useful when well-presented and actually informative‚ data-processing systems are often referred to as information systems. Nevertheless‚ the terms are roughly synonymous‚ performing

Patrick Cunningham ITM220-J November 8‚ 2013 Big Data Big Data‚ an inspirational novel about the collection and processing of massive amounts of data was eye-opening and encouraging. This collection of data over a long period of time has been processed and used towards many different aspects throughout the world. Dilemmas such as tracking the H1N1 virus‚ to buying the most inexpensive plane tickets‚ all the way to predicting dangerous manholes explosions have all been processed and tabulated

model was used with empirical data collected in a job shop manufacturing system in order to test the usefulness and validity of the dynamic complex index. The Business Dynamic model analyzed the trend of the index in function of different inputs in a selected work center. The results showed that the maximum value of the dynamic complexity index represents the so called “edge of chaos”‚ where the amount of information needed to manage the system is maximum and where there is the trade off between

Databases and Data Communication BIS 320 September 16‚ 2013 Lisa Ricks Databases and Data Communication Databases are great when you want to create a model of data such as numbers for figuring out how much you can spend on a new home when you are in the buying marketing‚ you can use excel to figure out how much you can spend and a monthly payment. You can also use a database to track of shipping components from a trade show that you are in charge of. You can use a database to organize
